Patient Reviews
Jun 14, 2018
I highly recommend Dr. Alva for Gastroenterology and all of his fields of expertise. I have been seeing him for 5 years and he has performed much more than upper GI's and colonoscopies on me. He has seen me through some serious liver issues and has provided professional guidance and in depth explanations with each procedure. He is calm yet very serious about client relationships and their well being. I have undergone procedures with other doctors, but his bedside manner is un-paralleled.
